Knee Pain Causes, Conditions and Treatments

Mark Rist

One of my relatives had her fibula/tibia fixed by Dr. Fragomen & I would take her there for follow up visits.

I was so impressed by the professionalism by not just him, but the staff of HSS as well so when I couldn't run or swim anymore due to a torn knee (meniscus), I decided to have Dr. Fragomen fix my knee. My knee turned out very well as if I never had a surgery. Thank you Dr. Fragomen. When I came in for a follow up visit, Dr. Fragomen observed me struggling in pain to hang up my coat. He then became inquisitive about my injury. I told him my 100 lb. Newfoundland mix dog ran after a squirrel on a 25 ft. extended leash & POW!

My rotator cuff was severely damaged. Dr. Fragomen informed that he also specialized in shoulder repair & could fix it. My surgery was December 17th, 2014, & 6 months later I was doing push-ups again. Not regular push-ups, but ONE HANDED PUSH-UPS. Seriously, I am NOT kidding!

Thank you Dr. Fragomen. You truly are AWESOME!
